There are various collections of Liszt`s Tone Poems recorded in Central
and Eastern Europe but the quality is sometimes poor as far as recording
sound.  I will suggest the two boxes (each in 2 CD set) by Philips.  The
London Philarmonic is conducted by Bernard Haitkin.  I bought them in
Paris a couple of years ago but I suppose they are still distributed.
The numbers are <Philips 438 751-2 and 438 754-2>.
